[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
Ok so first make sure your in download mode, power + vol down + home button. Then boot odin, plug your phone in and make sure it recognizes it. if it just died on you without flashing anything then you might be out of luck. that's pretty much a hardware issue, but if you were in the middle of flashing or something you might be ok. what is your phone doing, is it getting to the S logo and then quitting or is it continually flashing the mian screen (on for a second and then rebooting). can you get into recovery mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
ha just saw your attachment, do not use a pit file, do not check repartition, and just put the .tar file in the pda field, leave all else default
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contalyst:
It worked and got past boot loop for now, just not getting to TW and at the black screen after boot logo. Thanks a ton tho. Wish I could rep or something here lol :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
OK so what happens when you go into recovery mode, it's the same as download mode except you pus the vol up instead of vol down. You will probably see an error.....you might want to try flashing JL2. I pretty much think you are sunk if it's the standard error BUT in this new JL2 firmware there is a fix that might work. basically put phone into download mode, boot odin, plug the phone in, select pda and find the jl2.tar file, then there is a box to tick called "phone bootloader update" tick that and flash. if that doesn't work it could be missing some files in a folder called dbdata, try flashing JK3 and then over top of that JL2 if it doesn't boot from the JK3 flash....I dunno man, basically you can't screw it up any more than it is, and I brought mine back to life. check out this thread for more info.

Hey guys, i made the stupid mistake of flashing an unstable rom with no wifi because i thought if i backed up with clockworkmod it'd be ok- but i was wrong and it changed my recovery to 2e.

I cant get wifi on this rom so i cant download clockworkmod recovery. what do i do?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragusman:
use your stock firmware that came pre installed. If you are not sure what it was id recomend jm8 then from there prob upgrade to newest jpy.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913 get stock roms from here aswell as odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuptup:
Thanks so much, but why are the files .exe? I thought they need to to be .tar or something. Again, thanks so much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragusman:
Not to sure maybe they have got odin exe included no probs with them though..if you like you can get them from samfirmware.com aswell...

EDIT: "All firmware is compressed whith 7-Zip whith SFX archive! No Password!

best compression => small file => fast download"
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuptup:
Awesome, downloading JM8 now.

For the flashing, am i meant to just put my phone in download mode then run the file in ODIN or is it more complicated.

You've been infinitely helpful so far. Thank you :D

Also mybe you could get CF-root,and that has recovery2e on so no wipes etc..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragusman:
Put apropriate files in odin first this differs some firmwares come with csc, modem and all have .tar being the pda most now days just have tar file if it just the tar file dont tick repartition if there csc and modem aswell then tick repartition. Open odin put in above file(s)then put phone into download then connect to pc yellow com port will show up then click start.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo-ST:
1. wrong forum

2. find Odin 1.3

3. try JM8 firmware and follow instructions, you got it on this forum

4. try different usb port

5. different computer/OS

6. enable admin privileges on Odin, just to be sure if using Win7

Mix these combinations and you'll get it eventually, there's no much science to it if you got download mode working...

EDIT: sorry, i don't know if JM8 works on Vibrant (just saw that you have Vibrant) so you may want to try some other firmware that is made for Vibrant

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FadeFx:
You should check "repartition" and put the firmware .tar file in "one package" and 512 pit file as pit, start the phone in download mode then connect the phone wait for "added" and press start.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shine.:
What do you mean by 'one package" ? i can only put it in "pit" "pda" "phone" or "csc"
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cypher_X:
If you go to samfirmwares download a firmware for your phone.

They have a 3in1 package (pda,code and csc all in one)

This .tar file you put @ pda

Use the correct pitfile

Make sure repartition is enabled

Put the phone into download mode

Connect and wait till its added

Press start

Wait till the flash finished and rebooted

Disconnect after boot

Reset odin

Shut down phone

Enter download mode again

Connect phone and wait till its added

Do the cf root thing

Reboot

Flash cwm recovery

Reboot

Flash the modded rom

Reboot

Done and enjoy!

Also, try restarting your computer. Sometimes it helps if you keep getting stuck.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuryriderX:
often the firmware from there is in a .RAR file that you have to extract in order to get the actual firmware files out, they should be in .TAR format.

extract it, then go from there.

any firmware for the i9000 will work with the i9000m, i've put international firmwares on my bell phone.

the jm8 suggestion is a good one though, i'd go with that. load the 512 pit file and tick repartition.

The phone does not charge if its off and connected to an outlet/pc. ADB will recognize the devices for a few seconds before the phone shuts itself off.
